Former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms has opened up on his surprise departure from CBS Sports, where he spent 26 years as an analyst following his playing career.
Phil Simms, along with former Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Boomer Esiasion, have both left the “The NFL Today” on CBS. Another former NFL MVP-winning QB, Matt Ryan, and three-time Defensive Player of the Year JJ Watt are taking their places.
“The NFL Today” lineup will bring back James Brown, former NFL wide receiver Nate Burleson and Hall of Fame head coach Bill Cowher. As for Esiason, he’ll continue working with Gregg Giannotti on their popular “Boomer and Gio” New York sports radio program.
Simms addressed his departure from CBS Sports during a new interview with Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports. Simms stated that he understands the trend of businesses replacing veteran talents with younger personalities:
“Like people say, they’re always looking for the next person. I’ve heard they like young people, too. O.K…Whatever the bosses want, that’s what they do. And I understand that.”
In the interview with McCarthy, Phil Simms also stated that he’ll focus on the “Simms Complete” podcast that he co-hosts with son and former NFL QB, Matt Simms. Phil also said that Esiason will appear on their podcast.
Phil Simms Understands The Shift In Sports Media
Whether sports fans like it or not, major sports media outlets everywhere across the world are choosing to cut ties with long-tenured and notable talents, regardless of their popularity and career accomplishments.
NBC Sports moved on from Al Michaels after the 2021 season, opting to promote Mike Tirico to their “Sunday Night Football” broadcasts. Just last year, ESPN conducted a long list of layoffs that included Steve Young, Suzy Kolber, Jeff Van Gundy, Matt Hasselbeck and Jalen Rose.
Simms was a polarizing analyst at CBS Sports, but replacing his in-depth knowledge and analysis is easier said than done. Fans synonimize his voice with so many unforgettable NFL moments in the 21st century.
The good news for Simms’ fanbase is that he’s not going away from sports journalism.He still has plenty ore to offer on his podcast.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
